General notice
If the weather forecast is uncertain, expect the worse and plan accordingly for that. If the weather is better than expected, we can always leave the extra gear in the car.

Cotton socks, running shoes and jeans are not acceptable clothing for winter or alpine hikes and you maybe ask to return home for your safety. However, summer or lower altitude hikes with no snow or ice is ok to wear such clothing for beginners if you have nothing else but consult with the host in advance before joining.

Friendly dogs & kids are welcome to join with a supervised adult. If the event is more than 3hrs, you might want to consider bring some food and drink. If you wish to leave early, you may do so at anytime. There is a possibility this event could be rescheduled to the following week due to any unexpected situation / weather condition. However, the odds are low.
